where do you guys buy your genesis and super nintendo games ?
« on: December 03, 2009, 10:39:23 pm »
Hi guys, I'm getting back in to the genesis/snes games here. Where do you guys go to find games at decent prices for both of these systems. I live in a hick town and there isn't one place to buy them.   P.S. I don't use ebay unless i have to, i really do hate them. What I'm really after is a site with a good selection that doesn't charge me separate shipping on each games.

Yeah, with the shill bidders  ::) out there, I can see why ebay would be a problem.

Either ebay or CTCW are the two main online alternatives for bulk lots you might get lucky and find a collector selling of duplicate games at various console forums in their market place sections.

If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

I pretty much always snipe on ebay now, partly because of a suspicion of shilling. Or 'buy it now' if the price is right...

www.gamegavel.com aka www.chasethechuckwagon.com

I just tried this service out and so far I'm liking it.  You don't have to dig through a ton of crap and many of the prices are fairly reasonable (e.g. used NES consoles are half of the average on eBay).

If you are in the USA check and see if you have a Movie Trading Company near by.  They have tons of old carts ranging from Atari and up.

No thanks to eBay's practice of hiding bidders, it's now easier than ever for shillers to do their thing.

I usually check local flea markets, or look for Lot's on the bay.

I have around 350 NES carts now, I really need to get back into it....
